TOMATO- CILANTRO VEGGIE
I had always eaten a sweet preparation of tomatoes but then suddenly one evening, the combination of ginger, green chillies with tomatoes along with coriander leaves struck me. Hence, this subzi was invented.. :P
And now i have almost stopped making the sweeter version with tomatoes, its just this yummy preparation!!
Ingredients:

• Finely chopped large red tomatoes- 2
• Freshly chopped cilantro(coriander) leaves- 1/2 cup
• Finely chopped small green chillies- 2
• Grated ginger- 2" piece
• Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
• Coriander powder- 1/2 tsp
• Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
• Sugar- 1/4 tsp
• Cumin seeds- 1/4 tsp
• Oil- 1 tsp
• Salt to taste

Method:

• Heat oil in a wok and add the cumin seeds.
• Once they splutter, add the chopped chillies and grated garlic and saute for a minute.
• Add the tomatoes followed by turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder.
• Saute on medium flame for 10 minutes, till the tomatoes are done but not mushy.

Note: Make sure that the coriander leaves are added when the vegetable is almost done else they will turn blackish.
